ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A Young Lady's Fruitless Attempt to
Shuttle Of This Mortal Coil.

a Dung Lazy FrultleSS Attempt TO
Shuttle Of This Mortal Coil.
All Margaret street was excited Tuesday
evening by the reported suicide of an
attractive aud popular belle of that thor
oughfare. A rush was made to her place
of abode and for awhile the sidewalk was
almost impossible A doctor was quickly
summoned, and an hours hard work
overcame the workssof the deadly laudanum
which she bad swallowed With suicidal in
tent. The event created a big ripple in the
society circles of that street, and has been
the talk ever since. The young lady was
up and around yesterday, smiling as sweetly
as if no such desperate and rash resolution
had ever entered her head. As usual, there
is young man connected with the
case, and he seems to be the
main cause of the trouble, together with a
stern maternal parent. There are several
versions. of the affair and the one given here
with seems generally accepted as the true
one. The young lady, whose surname is
Ella, is plump semi-brunette of attractive
face and form, and of very engaging man
ners- According to popular rumor, she
was engaged to a young man
whom she disliked, but whom her
mother was well satisfied with. Miss Elias
mother recently went off into the country
visiting and she remained with her aunt,
Mrs. Exley. Tuesday noon her mother re-
turned quite suddenly and evidently, as the
gossips say, very much disturbed. 1t has
since leaked out, according to these same
authorities, that Miss Ella broke off the en-
gagement, and wrote her mother to
that effect. The sudden announce
ment of this step angered her
mother, and the fair maiden received a
Scotch blessing" of exceeding good meas
ttrs A -a1 nj her.

His Arm Crushed.

About l o'clock yesterday morning a col
ored man, named William Strickland, was
found lying on one of the tracks leading to
the wharves of the Savannah, Florida and
Western, at the Thunderbolt road crossing,
with an arm badly mangled by a locomotive
or car having passed over it. He was drunk,
and had laid down on the track. He was
taken TO DR.. Duncan, who, after attending TO
the arm, sent him to the Georgia Infirmary.
The arm was amputated yesterday after
noon. The man was not an employee of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway,
but had apparently laid down on the track
while intoxicated, or had attempted to Jump
on n freight train going down TO the
wharves and was knocked off.

More Trouble for the Alphabetically
Named Society.

Named society.
William T. Davis, Grand Supreme Master
of the Supreme Council of the Grand Order
of Archers, was up before Justice Sheftall
yesterday, charged by James Dorsey,
former Grand Supreme Master, with
having collected money for badges
which he neglected to supply. 1t
seems, from all accounts, that
it is only another phase of the quarrel
that threatens disruption to this lengthy
named society. When Dorsey was sue
ceeded by Davis, the charter could not be
found. To compel him to surrender it
Davis, together with II. B. Hamilton,
Robert Hayes, L. A. Washington and Paul
E. Kelly, had dispossessory warrant is
sued and served upon Dorsey The case was
tried Tuesday by Bull street Justice Mr..
2. j. O'Connor, who represented Dorsey,
made the point that there is no charter for
Branch No. /, of the order, which,was the
way the charter was described in the war
rant.
The evidence showed that there is not
such a charter, the branch operating under
the charter of the Supreme Grand Council
The warrant was therefore dismissed and
W. w. Osborne, Esq.,. representing the
plaintiffs, then began an action in trover to
recover the Councils charter The paper
is valued at $40. The trover is returnable
at the October term of the Magistrates
court.
Dorsey's suit seems to be sort of partial
return for the above. He says Davis col
lected 4Oc. from each member, and the same
was for badges for the members SO paying.
They waited patiently, but got no badges,
nor could they secure the return of the
money. Davis testified that he only col
lected a portion of the amount needed He
said that he made contract to have them
made by Mrs. Kohl and paid her So %
on account. She finished them, but de-
manded the balance due, $12 as, before she
delivered the bright ornaments to the
waiting members. There the matter
seemed to hang fire. The evidence
of the warning members brought out many
amusing points. 1t leaked out. also, that
Davis and his partners expelled Dorsey,
Beasley and Abner, for making a continual
fuss over the the matter, as they said. At
one time motion was made to pay back
Dorsey his 40c., but w. j. Jone, the SUI
preme Grand Patriarch, who was in the
chair, objected unless all were included in
that motion. The Expelled" members and
their followers held that they carried the
order with them and that Davis
side was nothing but sort of
sideshow business. OF course this was re-
sented and the charge given back with in
terest. At the trial, the members of the
two factions took the side of their respec-
tive leaders and swore accordingly. Two
sets of minute or record books were brought
in and the respective secretaries each swore
theirs was the only true one. Neither Of
them, however, could be read by the attor-
neys, or justice, and even the secretaries
had a very sickly. smile on as they en-
deavored to decipher the hieroglyphics on
their books. After hearing all the testi-
mony the justice held Davis to appear at
the Superior Court. Mr. P. J. O'Connor
appeared for Dorsey and Mr.. E. Newman
for Davis.

TYBEE'S VISITORS.
Railway Magnates Take in Savannah's
Popular Seaside Resort.


Popular Seaside Resort.
special car on the regular 3 o'clock
train yesterday afternoon took to Tybee
Gen. Z. p. Alexander and Directors C. H.
Phinizy of Augusta, U. B. Harold of
Americas, Henry Blum and A. Vetsherg, of
the Central railroad, and President Purse
and Directors Rowland and Estill. and Supt.
Haines, of the Savannah and Tybee rail
road. The officials of Georgia's great rail
road corporation went to the seaside by in
vitation of those of the Tybee railroad, who
were anxious for them to see what kind of a
railway had been built by which the railroad
systems of Georgia were actually extended
to the very waves of the Atlantic. The
visitors made very close inspection of the
roadway, bridges and tracks as they passed
over the road and were very favorably inn
pressed by what they saw. Arriving at the
Ocean House the party strolled on
the beach and several of them took a
plunge in the surf. On the return
to the hotel they found a dinner spread
and the accomplishments usual to such oc-
casions at hand. When the cloth was re-
moved Gen Alexander said that while
speeches were not in order, and he did not
propose making one, he wished to propose a
toast to the success of the Tybee railway.
He said he had to confess that when he
heard 1t was proposed to construct rail
road to Tybee, he thought it Utopian, and
he had grave doubts as to its being built,
and if it were, of it's ever being a self-sup-
porting enterprise He had, however
changed his opinion. The road was built,
and from what he could learn it was so far
a financial success He was surprised to find
it in such good physical" condition. much
better than most roads which have been
built so short time Its construction was
a blessing to the people of Savannah and
the State, as it afforded the means of easy
access to the health-givlng breezes of the
seashore. 1t was great undertaking to
build such railroad and those who did it
are public benefactors.
Gen. Alexander, in the course of his
remarks, stated that Savannah's cotton
receipts this winter would be larger than
ever before, and would probably reach
nearly million of bales.
Col. C. H. Phinizy, of Augusta, expressed
himself surprised at the railroad and at
Tybee. 1t was, he said, his first visit, but
Augusta would be well represented at
Tybee"
President Purse gave toast to the Cen
trial Railroad and the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway, Savannah's two
great systems. He said the Tybee Railroad
Company must look to them for much of
its business, and that his company had
already had practical evidence of their
friendly feeling
The party came back on the regular train,
which made the run from the Ocean House
to the Savannah depot in As minutes.

juries received while in discharge of his
